H&M’s New Basquiat Collection + More Fashion News
Plus, Dior brings back the wedge.
H&M announces a new collection featuring the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat
Is fashion art? It depends on who you ask. But there’s no doubt that the two have a special relationship, personified by H&M’s new collaboration with New York-based fashion designers Ev Bravado and Téla D’Amore.
The 30-piece H&M collection explores the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat and his impact on young Black creatives, merging Basquiat’s iconic imagery and rarely seen artworks with Bravado and D’Amore’s stained glass motifs and expressive designs. While we have to wait until August 1 for the assortment to be available in stores and online, expect graphic tees, colourful jeans and much more.
Dior brings back the wedge
With Y2K fashion coming back with a vengeance, it was only a matter of time before the rebirth of the wedge, and Dior is leading the charge.
The Attitude Dior shoe embodies the retro spirit of the house’s Fall 2024 show while staying firmly in the present. Available as mules or platform sandals with an adhesive strap at the back, the heels come in two heights (6.5 cm and 9.5 cm) and a variety of materials. Don’t blame us if you suddenly feel yourself going boho. Check them out in-stores or online on July 18.
